So Transparent

Most recently the debt ceiling hypocrisy, now:

Campaign 2008

"That's not part of his power, but this is part of the whole theory of George Bush that he can make laws as he goes along. I disagree with that. I taught the Constitution for 10 years. I believe in the Constitution and I will obey the Constitution of the United States. We're not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end-run around Congress," then-Senator Obama said as a presidential candidate in 2008.

That was then

Obama Ignores Spending Bill's "Czar" Ban
President Obama "is planning to ignore language in the 2011 spending package that would ban several top White House advisory posts," signing a statement in which he says has no obligation to comply, Politico reports.

"The anti-czar language in the spending bill marked a victory for Republicans and conservative pundits, who accused the administration of giving unelected bureaucrats too much power within the White House. But the language didn't appear to have any immediate impact on Obama's staff. Energy and climate adviser Carol Browner resigned earlier this year; health czar Nancy-Ann DeParle was promoted to deputy White House chief of staff; Obama's urban affairs adviser, Adolfo Carri?n, left the White House to become a regional director for the Department of Housing and Urban Development; and the White House said auto and manufacturing adviser Ron Bloom wouldn't be affected by the language."

This is now

So everything Obama criticized Bush for he now does, does that about sum it up? All the things that fired up his base and got their blood boiling mad about he does.

either he is a lunatic, his followers are loony or the entire lot of them are out of their heads.

LOL....Bush III?

LOL....Bush III?

I prefer Carter II.

Oh he's got that down pat.  He's in fact making Carter look good, in comparison.  This debt machine, completely out of control, yet we can't "touch" any of the entitlements, because as designed, once established, they become sacrosanct, regardless of the damage being done to the country, or if they even pass Constitutional muster

The Constitution does not say that the President cannot appoint people to carry his policies out for him.

If he is prevented from doing this, it still will not make it easier for the reactionaries to attack benefits.

So it was a bogus arguement when Obama tried applying it to Bush.  Thanks for the validation, Xo
